The Equity Tool for Valuing Global Health Partnerships

The Equity Tool (EQT) was developed by researchers across Canada, Burkina Faso and Vietnam to provide a user-friendly tool for evaluating global health partnerships using an equity lens. Over the past decade, equity has become recognized as a core value guiding the practice of global health. Whether oriented toward research, capacity building, or development, partnerships are often promoted as mechanisms for working in global health, with equity more-or-less centered in the process and practices in global health. The Equity Tool (EQT) offers a practical guide for considering equity in 4 domains of practice: governance and process, procedures and operations, progress and impacts, and power and inclusion.
